Battlestar Galactica? I need it now. Seasons 1, 2, and 3. When Universal? When?

And let's hope that titles like the recent AMERICAN GANGSTER get re-mastered, and this time with the 'extended version' released on Blu-ray hi-def (unlike it's appearance now only on the DVD side of the HD-DVD/DVD combo disc), as noted in this excerpt from the May issue of Home Theater Magazine's review (pg. 94) -



"And what happened with this transfer? The 1.85:1 image is frustratingly soft throughout, with contrast and detail generally low, especially in the frequent dark scenes where the film wallows in a murky gray. Ridley Scott may have been going for a hazy look, but I don't think it works to the film's advantage, especially in HD. Add to that no HD soundtrack and the fact that the extended version of the film is only available on the DVD side of this combo disc, and you have to wonder when Universal will release the real HD version."

So now I'm suppose to re-buy my hd-dvdone collection. Uhhhhh I don't think so. And Jimi, your wish is a pipe dream. You know that they are not going to remaster this movie. But you probablly will get the extended cut in all of it's crappy high def. glory.

Blade, I'm gonna assume that Universal read the reviews for the HD DVD version of American Gangster and they're gonna release a better version on bluray. I'd be surprised if it was the same transfer to be honest. While it's nowhere near as bad as some may think it is, it does deserve a better transfer in my opinion.
